Pet care experience

I'll love them like they're my own

I grew up in a household with 6 dogs at once and 8 cats. I had bloodhounds, pitbulls, a toy fox terrier, boston terrier, white highland west terrier, and a small chihuahua and a few mutts over the years. I've taken care of pugs, dachshunds, gernman shepards, poodles, and chinese crested dogs! The cats I grew up around were indoor/outdoor cats. Currently I have 2 indoor cats that are insanely sweet. I love big and small dogs and cats. I’m a huge animal person. Animals bring me so much happiness and I miss having a dog of my own so watching them and taking care of them really is fun for me. I love getting to know a new cat too! If they like to cuddle and watch netflix with a snack thats a huge plus as well! I will love your baby like they're my own.

John was absolutely incredible and i'd give him 6 stars if possible. From the very beginning he was kind and professional. Not only did he respond in a very timely manner but was very flexible with pick-up and drop off. My dog has some unique needs - blind and diabetic - but John was extremely caring, gentle and understanding. I would absolutely entrust my little one in his care again!

Thank you so much! Not only was my request super last moment, it was fairly untraditional. Murray’s an older dog who needs a caring and vigilant caregiver. John stayed a bit later than originally planned because I was running late. It is honestly a huge relief to have someone responsible look after my best friend while I’m at work.

John Wayne is an animal lover. Proudly he got that attribute from his Mother, me! I grew up with many types of animals and loved each and every one of them. He grew up with a variety of creatures-tortoises, cats, birds, lizards, and dogs. Our house was nicknamed “the zoo”. He has a compassion for all animals. He loves to interact with all sorts of animals as well. He’s been known to become friends with dogs who were not always friendly towards humans. A dog or cat can sense the love felt in a humans heart. And that is what your dog will feel when he meets my son.

John is one of the most caring, loving and compassionate people that I know. He is a dog/animal lover and has grown up with dogs around his whole life. He has a lot of experience with different breeds, as well. I don't trust many people with my dogs but I trust him 100%. He will go the extra mile to make sure your dog is cared for and it will put your mind at ease. He will care for and love your dog as if he/she was his own. I have a dog named Luigi who can be challenging as he was rescued and came from an abusive home prior. He takes a LONG time to warm up to people and in fact, sometimes, never really warms up to them. However, when John came over to my home, he warmed up to John IMMEDIATELY. We were so shocked how quickly Luigi warmed up to him and it just speaks to John's personality and how amazing he is with animals.

John is a very kind, compassionate, caring person. He cares about human beings. But truly loves all animals. He grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds-dogs, cats, a quaker parrot, two tortoises, salt water fish, snakes, and an iguana. One day he was helping to bury a our cat named Shalimar and he stated, "no cat should die alone". Animals can sense his love and attach to him very easily. John is also a honest, law abiding person. You can trust him in your home to be respectful of your possessions. He is a good man, and he loves all animals.

John is the best uncle my dog could have and I highly recommend him as a caregiver. He is responsible, reliable, loving, and fun -- all the qualities you look for in someone who is caring for your baby. John has a gentle nature and sincere love for animals which is evident in his special way of connecting with them. He has taken care of my dog many times, and she is thrilled to see him every time he walks through the door. It is for these reasons that I call him "the dogfather".
